The polymer cutoff wall offers the benefits of causing little disturbance to the dam body, being convenient and economical to construct and practical to use, and possessing good resistance to seismic shocks and cracks. It has been widely used to prevent seepage and to reinforce dikes and dams. However, the polymer cutoff wall is a concealed underground structure, and nondestructive testing methods to ensure its integrity are not yet mature. This paper describes a modal analysis of polymer cutoff wall models with different damage scenarios to investigate the feasibility of nondestructive testing of the polymer cutoff wall based on vibration theory. The dynamic characteristics of the first three natural frequencies of the wall and their mode shapes show that horizontal direction damage and centrally located partial damage have a noticeable impact on the dynamic characteristics of the wall, indicating that nondestructive testing based on vibration theory is useful to test for horizontal damage and moderate damage located centrally in the wall.

By studying dynamic characteristics of the leaf spring system, a new elastic component is designed to reduce the working load and to a certain extent to ensure the linearity as well as increase the amplitude in the vertical and horizontal directions in vibration screen. The modal parameters, amplitudes, and amplification factors of the leaf spring system are studied by simulation and experiment. The modal results show that the leaf spring system vibrates in horizontal and vertical directions in first and second mode shapes, respectively. It is conducive to loosening and moving the particles on the vibration screen. In addition, it is found that the maximum amplitude and amplification factor in the horizontal direction appear at 300 r/min (5 Hz) while those in the vertical direction appear at 480 r/min (8 Hz), which are higher than those in the disc spring system. Moreover, the amplitude of the leaf spring system increases proportionally with the increase of exciting force while the amplification factors are basically the same under different exciting forces, indicating the good linearity of the leaf spring system. Furthermore, the minimum exciting force occurs in the leaf spring system under the same amplitude by comparing the exciting force among different elastic components. The above works can provide guidance for the industrial production in vibration screen.

The head frame is a key component which plays a supportive and accommodative role in the spindle system of CNC machine tool. Improving the static and dynamic characteristics has profound significance to the development of machine tool and product performance. The simplified finite element modal is established with ANSYS to carry out the static and modal analysis. The results showed that the maximum deformation of the head frame was 0.0066mm, the maximum stress was 3.94Mpa, the deformation of most region was no more than 0.0007mm, which all verified that the head frame had a good stiffness and deforming resistance; several improvement measures for dynamic performance were also proposed by analyzing the mode shapes, and the 1st order natural frequency increased 7.33% while the head frame mass only increased 1.58% applying the optimal measure, which improved the dynamic characteristics of the head frame effectively.

Horizontally curved bridges have complicated dynamic characteristics because of their irregular geometry and nonuniform mass and stiffness distributions. This paper aims to develop a simplified and practical method for the calculation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of horizontally curved bridges that would be of interest to bridge engineers for the estimation of the seismic response of these types of bridges. For this purpose, a simple three-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) dynamic model for free vibration equation of this type of bridge has been developed. It is shown that the translational motion of the deck of horizontally curved bridges in the direction that is perpendicular to their axis of symmetry is always coupled with the rotational motion of the deck, regardless of the location of the stiffness center. The model is further exploited to develop closed-form formulas for the estimation of the maximum displacements of the corners of the deck of one-way asymmetric horizontally curved bridges. The accuracy of the model is verified by finite-element model of a horizontally curved bridge prototype in OpenSEES. Finally, the model is utilized to study the influence of the location of the stiffness center with respect to the deck curvature center on the natural frequency and the maximum displacements of the corners of the deck for different curvatures of the deck. The results of free vibration analysis show that the natural frequencies of one-way asymmetric horizontally curved bridges, in general, increase with the increase of the subtended angle of the deck. The results of earthquake response spectrum analysis show that the increase in the subtended angle of one-way asymmetric horizontally curved bridges decreases the radial displacements of the corners of the deck but increases the azimuthal displacement. These two responses both increase with the increase in the distance between the stiffness center and the curvature center.

Fan blades of an aero-engine assembly are the critical components that are subjected to Foreign Object Damage (FOD) such as bird impact. Bird impact resulting in deformation damage onto set of blades, which in turn alters the blade mass and stiffness distribution compared to undamaged blades. This paper presents the numerical evaluation of dynamic characteristics of bird impact damaged blades. The dynamic characteristics evaluated are the natural frequencies and mode shapes of post impact damaged set of blades and the results are compared with undamaged set of blades. The frequencies and mode shapes are evaluated for the damaged blades, with varying angles of bird impact and three blade rotational speeds. Study reveals that first bending and torsional frequencies of deformed blades are significantly affected compared to undamaged set of blades. Study emphasize the need to evaluate the natural frequencies deformed blades, that has direct bearing on High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) life of the blade, to ensure post damaged blades operate safely for certain time to reduce inflight accidents and safe landing.

Stress wave based techniques have been developed for evaluating the quality of the wooden materials nondestructively. However the existing techniques have some shortcomings due to the significant variation of the wood properties and are now in need of updating. There are also stress wave based instruments which have been widely used for nondestructive testing of wood. But most of them are inflexible and unsuitable for the tentative studies. This paper proposed and implemented a wood nondestructive testing platform based on NI virtual instrument. Three wood nondestructive testing methods, including peak time interval measurement, cross-correlation, and spectrum analysis, were also tested on this platform with serious decay sample, early decay sample, and defect-free sample. The results show that new methods can be verified easily and the researches of wood nondestructive testing will be accelerated with the designed platform.

The airway binary fluid layer and the structural characteristics of the upper airways have significant influence on the activity of the airway muscles by changing airway compliance and collapsibility during obstructive sleep apnea trauma. The uvula plays an important role in the collapse process. Using MRI scans, this paper develops a structural model for the uvula and determines its dynamic characteristics in terms of natural frequencies and mode shapes as a preliminary process to determine optimum conditions to therapeutically relieve upper airway obstruction. The effect of the variation of tissue elasticity due to water content is elaborated on.
